GCI Cable
January 16, 2023 Our internet provider is GCI. Here in our state we only have two internet provider. The other one is ACS and it's based on location. Which leaving most of the people to use GCI. GCI charge for their unlimited internet at a very expensive price. Ours is $180 a month. There are times where the internet is slow. If we're home and we're using the wifi then our data will be slow.

January 06, 2026 Living in a rural area, getting great internet use to be impossible; however, Starlink changed that entirely! Although it did require a substantial investment to get hooked up, it was well worth the price. Starli k has given me the most stable and quick internet I've ever had. I was worried weather would negatively impact my connectivity, but thankfully, my Starlink works rain, snow, or shine! Even in the middle of winter in negative temperatures, my connection is stable. The monthly price is a little more expensive than other types of service, but well worth the price. I'm extremely satisfied with my choice to get Starlink.
